I just want to say, "Hooray for the Old Reliable." The N. & O. said the other day that there was no need for North Carolina to do any lying, that South Carolina on one side and Virginia on the other, in effect, did enough lying to serve for us. too. Then, a few days later tiie N. & O. recalled Governor Avcock had to say about South Carolina. Gov ernor Aycock's saying "Thank God for South Carolina! Were it not for that state, North Carolina would be on the bottom. . . Now, Sam Munch, are you going to keep on telling us about that wonderful (?) state? ^The reason Jim Murrill, Clay •l Petteway. and Jim Lynch had leave the Kiwanis club meeting .uiy last Tuesday was to get a drink of cold, really cold, water. They like spaghetti but that stuff in the extra dish thev didn't know anything about, except that it was free. Jim Murrill took sev eral spoonfuls and spread it on, and Jim Lynch followed suit. So did Clayton. Pretty soon, all three of them were sweating up a storm, and finally Jim Murrill had to confess that that darn spaghetti certainly was on fire. It was red pepper they had used, not sparingly. Richlands Sailor Sees Surrender Of By-Passed Islands #On The USS Portland Off Truk.

The pals were the surviving members of Boyinton's "Black Sheep" Marine fighter squadron. They wrote a fiery, hcll-for leather chapter in aerial combat history over Bougainville and Ra bau 1. There was a broad grin on the somewhat pale face of the combat leader who now wears the silver leaves of a lieutenant colonel. "This is the most wonderful thing that has happened to me," he shouted. Then his flyers rushed him and hoisted him to their shoulders. "This is great, boys." he kept repeating as the proud flyers bounced him on their shoulders. Boyington. 32 with 20 planes to his credit, was wearing a scraggly, toothbrush moustache that brought hoots of derision from his former comrades of the air. lie started it while in a Japanese prison, he explained, and would dispose of it shortly.

OPA Will Ignore Protests Against Its Reconversion Pricing 0 Washington.— (/P) —OPA in a i'evv days will turn thumbs down on merchants' sharp protests aaginst the agency's reconversion pricing policy. Submitted formally two weeks ;mo by a delegation of retailers. Ihse prtests labeled as "unecono mic. unsound, and inequitable" () I' A plans for returning new peacetime goods to the market at retail prices, Specifically, the retailers lashed out against the government's so called cost absorption policy. That policy, backed by President Truman in an executive order, re quires that any price increases granted to manufacturers should not be passed on to the public. They must be absorbed by whole salers and retailers, which means narrower profit margins for those dealers. Among products priced so far. dealers wil be required to absorb increases garnted to manufactur ers of washing machines, alumi num pots and pans, and electirc ironers. Manufacturers of radio cabinets are expected to be given a higher price, which probably means dealers will be required to absorb at least part of a likely in crease for finished sets.
